Ex-Representative George H. Durand of Michigan has been selected by the Attorney-General to assist in the prose cution of Federal officials and others implicated in the charge of opium and Chinese smuggling on Puget Sound and vicinity. It is intimated that the Treasury De partment is actuated in ordering the revenue steamers Grant and Perry to the Pacific Coast more by the condition of the Chinese and seal-fishery questions than to aid in the prevention of tho smuggling of opium in Puget Sound. Tlie Secretary of War has awarded a medal of honor to Captain Ernest A. Cardington of the Seventh Cavalry " for distinguished gallantry at Wounded Knee creek, S. v., during the Sioux war of the winter of 1890-1.'7 Captain Car dington wa badly wounded in the bat tle. The Committee on Ways and Mean bas begun consideration of the new tar iff bill. There is an intimation that the Secretary of the Treasury favor an in crease in the internal-revenue tax on whisky, beer and tobacco a the best means" of raising the additional revenue necessary to meet the increasing deficit of the government. In consequence of the new restrictions for conducting the official trial trips of naval vessels contractors will find it more difficult in the future to earn pre miums for an excess of speed.

In response to a resolution of inquiry the Secretary of the Interior sent to the Senate a statement concerning the discon tinuance and consolidation of land offices, showing the following among the con solidations: California, Independence with Visalia; Nevada, Eureka with Car son City; Wyoming, Lander with Buf falo. This statement said the reason for the consolidations was the inadequacy of the appropriation and to prevent a deficiency. The Poetoffice Department bas ac cepted the offer of the North American Navigation Company to carry mails for Mexico and Central America. The new arrangement is not a contract, but a des ignation of the company as the official mail carrier under the general laws. Ac cording to the offer the steamers will carry mails once in twenty days to those ports at which they are compelled to stop by provisions of the company's con tracts with the Central American'States, leaving the postmaster to fix the com pensation. The annual report of Governor W. T. Thornton of New Mexico states that the population of the Territory ha not ma terially changed during the past year. The total Territorial indebtedness is $911,712, and cash balance in the treas ury $121,000. Stock-raising ha decreased as a result of the four years' drought. Many mines are closed on account of the decrease in silver value and the money market stringency. The annual product of precious stones is rapidly increasing.

Captain Higginson is en titled to the credit of having disclosed to the department the condition of the At lanta when the vessel was ordered to sea. The letters embrace the full his tory of this well-known case, and the conclusion of the matter is that Secre tary Herbert accepts the apology and explanation of Captain Higginson, and says his connection with the matter will not be permitted to prevent his being assigned to such duty as his rank enti tles him to perform, when the opportu nity oilers. The compromise silver measure pre pared by Senator Jones of Arkansas has been introduced in the Senate by its au thor.

The commis sion shall organize by the election of one of their number as President, and the President is to appoint a clerk. The commission is to hold it session in tho capitol and in such other places as a ma jority shall direct, and employ necessary stenographer and employes, and may ad m in ieter oaths and send for persons and papers. The commission is charged with an examination into the fiscal and mon etary condition of the government and the people of the United States, with a view to devising means for the better ment thereof, and is given full jurisdic tion. It is charged to specially examine and report upon by one or more bills the following subjects : The full or partial remonetization of silver and a proper ratio between it and gold ; revision of legal-tender law to prevent discrimina tion between various descriptions of money; State-bank tax repeal with nec essary revisions ; the cause of the pres ent paralysis of trade and the necessity of legislation to prevent national banks from abusing their power. The second section of the resolution instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to set apart and retain in the Treasury so much of the silver bullion now in the Treasury as will be necessary to redeem the outstand ing Treasury notes in compliance with the terms of the act of July 14, 1800, and provides that the remainder of the bullion shall be set apart to be coined, And the Secretary is required to coin it at the rate of not less than 4,000,000 standard silver dollars per month, which when coined shall be an asset in the Treasury, and while this coinage is in progress the purchases of silver bullion under the terms of the Sherman act (hall be suspended.
